Rincon Scents - Tarts

Ok, yeah, I know I said it gets boring just following the shopping trends on YouTube, but here I am doing it again. Doh! And like I need anymore tarts . . . *blush* But anyway, this is a shop on Etsy called Rincon Scents, located in Puerto Rico. When I browsed her shop and saw she had a Fall & Christmas Sampler, I grabbed it. I'll just do a quick list and scent descriptions here, and will post my thoughts on individual scents on the Facebook page later as I melt each one.

Holiday Homecoming - 'Home
baked goodness of the holidays greets you with this rich vanilla sugar
and spiced cinnamon combined with baked apple, nutty chocolate, caramel
and brown sugared vanilla.' Spicy but in a soft way, a bit of sweet fruitiness, and then the warm bakery notes.

Winterberry - (no description available) Something almost like strawberry, and a light spicy or minty note.

Berries
& Pine - (no description available) Pine/evergreen hits you first
but it's not strong as usual so something is toning it down but that
something is not specifically identifiable. I do not get any berry
notes in cold throw.

I also received two freebies . . . a little package of Cucumber Melon gumdrop and heart shaped tarts, and an extra tart cup in the scent of Country Bakery, which there is no description available for on the site but smells something like Banana Caramel Cupcake so I am totally ok with that! There were also two types of business cards in the package.

This sampler pack contains 20 1 oz. scent cups, and sells for $15.00 in the Rincon Scents shop on Etsy. Even coming from Puerto Rico, shipping was fast. I ordered on a Thursday afternoon and received the package the following Thursday. I usually don't prefer the cup style tarts, but I do like this small, 1 oz. size. You can just pop it out of the cup and into the warmer. No hassle with trying to cut something into halves or quarters. They don't want to stack as evenly as the larger cups though, and a lot of the caps don't stay, but oh well. They are cute in their fall and winter colors, and they're all quite strongly scented.

Have YOU tried tarts from Rincon Scents yet? Did you find a favorite in the list above?
